Trump attacks Amazon for paying 'little or no taxes'

President Trump has launched an attack on Amazon saying it pays little or no local or state taxes. It follows a report on the news website Axios on Wednesday that claimed Mr Trump wanted to "Go after" Amazon. The Axios report claimed: "Trump's wealthy friends tell him Amazon is destroying their businesses. His real estate buddies tell him - and he agrees - that Amazon is killing shopping malls and brick-and-mortar retailers." Last year in August, the President tweeted: "Amazon is doing great damage to tax paying retailers. Towns, cities and states throughout the U.S. are being hurt - many jobs being lost!". In the past the President has also taken aim at the Washington Post which is owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
